Impact of Baseline Disease Activity and Trial Duration on Efficacy of Biologics in Active Crohn's Disease: Meta-analysis. Both the criteria used to define CD activity at study entry and the time point used to confirm efficacy may be important in maximizing therapeutic gain of active drug over placebo. |

Real-world Comparative Effectiveness of Ustekinumab vs Anti-TNF in Crohn's Disease With Propensity Score Adjustment: Induction Phase Results From the Prospective, Observational RUN-CD Study. In this prospective, observational RUN-CD study, the RWE head-to-head comparison of UST vs anti-TNF showed similar induction effectiveness in both groups, remarkably higher than those found in prior RCTs. |
Sustained Diet-Induced Remission in Pediatric Crohn's Disease Is Associated With Kynurenine and Serotonin Pathways. The reduction in specific kynurenine pathway compounds and the increase in serotonin pathway compounds are associated with diet-induced and sustained remission. Further studies are warranted to assess causality and the association of these metabolites with specific diet and lifestyle factors, affecting sustained clinical remission. |

Perioperative low-dose prednisolone treatment has beneficial effects on postoperative recovery and anastomotic healing in a murine colitis model. We could demonstrate a beneficial effect of perioperative short-term low-dose prednisolone treatment on intestinal anastomotic healing in the context of colitis. Perioperative use of short-term low-dose prednisolone treatment might be beneficial in IBD patients that need to undergo surgery during active disease. |

Risk factors for acute kidney injury after pancreatoduodenectomy, and association with postoperative complications and death. Postoperative AKI was associated with major postoperative complications and an increased risk of postoperative mortality. Monitoring changes in serum creatinine levels and urine volume output could be important in the immediate perioperative period to improve outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy. |
Safety and efficacy of minor papillotomy in children and adolescents with pancreas divisum. The majority of children and adolescents with PD and ARP who underwent ERCP with minor papillotomy experienced subjective improvement in their symptoms following the intervention. These data suggest that ERCP with minor papillotomy for pediatric patients with PD and ARP is beneficial and may be curative in a subset of patients-higher rates of improvement than have been previously reported in adults. |
